THE OLD UMBRELLA.

Gladstone. "My Umbrella want3 he-covering." Chamberlain. "Step inside, Sir. Re-coyer it while you wait."

summarised in the following paraphrase of " Whene'er I take my
Walks Abroad,"—

Whene'er I talk of things abroad,

This is my polices,

If I don't interfere with them,

X'm sure they won't with me.

Mr. Labouchere calls liis article The Promised Land—a. good
title, though rather misleading title for those who expected it would
deal solely with tenant-rights and cognate questions.

The marvellous dressing with which Cardinal Newman has served
up Principal Faibbairn on toast in this month's Contemporary, for
the delectation of the Public, is as perfect as was the sauce which

His Eminence used for cooking Mr. Gladstone's goose, Vaticanism,
and, years ago, for dishing Canon Kingsley. So unjust and so reck-
less has the Cardinal proved the charges to he which were brought
against him by Principal Faibbairn in the May Number of this
Review, that henceforth the latter had better be re-entitled "Un-
principled UnFAiRBAiRN." All the same, the Contemporary ought
to be very grateful to "Unprincipled UnFAlBBAiBN" for having
succeeded, quand meme, in "drawing" John Henby, Cardinal
Newman.

(?)—Lord Iddesleigh promises a " Policy of Inquiry." He will
probably find that a policy which is all question will not answer.
